  1. Market BOOM! on Japanese Scientists Claim To Reconstruct Images From Brain Data · · Score: 1

    And people thought I was silly when I started selling tin-foil hats - Perfect for floods, tying up small packages, and blocking my other money making thoughts from the view of the japanese brain spying overlords.

    HAH!

  2. Re:It's a deformed child, not a moral trophy on Down's Symptoms May Be Treatable In the Womb · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's already a treatment guaranteed to prevent the expression of these symptoms: abortion.

    Oh, I know the every sperm is sacred types will whine about this, but consider the desires of the child. Wouldn't you prefer never to have existed if you knew you would be subjected to mental retardation, health complications, and a short lifespan?

    Yes, because no parent would ever want the option to save their child, and have them grow up normally.

  3. Re:Free to play on Tabula Rasa To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    It's overpriced.

    I won't rent games for this reason, and the other reason that I can afford to play games, but don't want to have to compete with kids having 16 hours a day + to play when I have to make a living and pay for where I live.

    The imbeciles running the gaming industry are claiming that the PC gaming is coming to an end. If they would stop the stupid online gaming and just do some stuff like moo2 and x-com, they'd see a resurgence in the sales from 30 to 50 year old gamers who just want to play a game instead of having to stay up until two in the morning to do some stupid raid.

    I keep a PC up just for moo, moo2, x-com, the original mechwarrior, Day of the tentacle, etc, etc.

  4. Class action lawsuit on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    How many of us would it take to get enough cash together to do a class action lawsuit over the use of the term "unlimited" ?

    While I agree a minority is starting to destroy it for the majority, it would be beneficial to swipe back and stop their "lie" about "unlimited" usage.

  5. Re:Awwww on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 1

    they said "If you complain in a decent constructive way you're fine to post what you want."

    In other words, if we get pissy over what you say, we can ban you because we got pissy.

    EA has definitely killed my future revenue bonus, and I don't even have an account on their forums, or play online.

  6. Woo hoo! on The Effects of the Cloud On Business, Education · · Score: 1

    I create several clouds a day, and can't wait to sell them in the new regime. //pauses

    Oh man, I'm about to create a ne

    Cloud....

    Maybe I should stop eating boiled eggs. //staggers away from the effluent cloud

  7. what I don't understand on Simulation of the Mars Science Laboratory Sky Crane · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We seem to be able to get to mars better, the Russians do land landings better than us.

    why not have them design and build the landing mechanism, and we just fly it there?

  8. Re:The home theater all got wet? on Recovering Moldy Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Huh? I'm guessing you're Indiana/Illinois midwest.

    I don't live in a flood plan, but I do have a water rider on my insurance If the sewer backs up, or the rains flood my house, I'm insured.

    i have State Farm if that helps any.

  9. humansdumb on Single Neuron Wired To Muscle Un-Paralyzes Monkeys · · Score: 1

    This really bodes bad for humans and Gaming.

    I mean really, a chimp can play anything ea games puts out with a fricking brain block in place...

    Oh the shame.... //starts flinging excrement on c&c 3 games

  10. Re:Are they really that naive? on EA Patches Spore, Eases DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually DRM is working.

    I don't buy, or download the game.

    So, even tho they are losing a sale, they aren't being hurt by me pirating.

    Now, if I could just put the game on the hard drive of my non internet pc and play, I'd buy the game - but even I know that's just silly talk.

    YAY DRM!

  11. Re:coalplants on China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City · · Score: 1

    Nuclear and water damns are fine by me.

  12. coalplants on China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd settle for them stopping the construction of coal plants which has made them the largest co2 polluter on the planet.

  13. cancer on Viruses Infected By Viruses · · Score: 2, Funny

    How long till these things are linked to stuff like cancer?

  14. it's a sad comment on A Hippocratic Oath For Scientists · · Score: 1

    it's a sad comment on the Human race when nobody can be trusted to actually walk the walk, and be true to their word.

    Unions were formed to keep people from being essentially slave labor, and they depended on people actually believing in the oaths they took.Granted, dipshits pushed a lot of unions into being giant ticks suckling the lifeblood out of industries, but my prime motive for posting is true.If you can't stand by your oath, you deserve to be cut down. And I really hope the folks that understand that - are numerous in the jobs of tomorrow.

  15. No thanks on Pizza Hut Tempts Gamers With a $10,000 Gaming Setup · · Score: 5, Funny

    The only problem with the promotion is you have to be able to actually purchase something from Pizza Hut.

    The last time I attempted to, my stomach leaped out of my mouth and dragged me pert damn near fifty miles - then proceeded to slap me around the head while burping vindictives that haunt me to this day.

    I learned a lesson that day, I found out it was more nutritious to suck pond scum from a fetid Florida swamp, then to attempt to consume anything that pizza hut calls a pizza.

    I need to start a therapy group.

  17. Re:What I gleaned, but didn't read in the article on Dungeons and Dragons Online Module 7 Rears its Head · · Score: 1

    //Raises hand

    I knew there was a online pay to play coming out - and then just ignored it.

    I was surprised to find out they are on a version seven, and people are all a twitter about it.

    I still play NWN 1 and 2, and I have an intense hatred of "renting games" to play online.

    I know it'll surprise you, but there's a good portion of the population that looks at monthly fees as a really bad thing when it comes to gaming.

    I'd rather play x-com or moo 2 then forever be behind some kid who can put 10 hours a day into a game, and not have to worry when breakfast, lunch and dinner is served.

    I realize us working folks opinions are irrelevant, but then again, we have more disposable cash than most hard core game renters... Something the bean counters tend to forget.

  18. Umm - no on Would You Rent a Song For a Dime? · · Score: 1

    Lala is an online music service where you can listen, upload, trade, and buy music. Unforuntely it requires javascript, similar to most major websites on the internet.
    I block scripts.. "Unforuntely " that makes me see why I'll run screaming from the site...

  20. Xcom - MOO 1 and 2 on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    X-com and all moos owe their popularity to Actors!

    Of course, it was the old days, it was turn based, and we had to read what was going on.

    the filming was pretty bad, just low pixel representations, not much scenery - but we did have MIDI and WAV powering the stellar sound experience!

    YEAH, Games Can't be good without high priced actors grunting into a microphone! We should all pay 10 bucks more a game so the grunter can be richer than Gates!

  21. Dogs and cams on Is Cheap Video Surveillance Possible? · · Score: 1

    I moved into a mixed neighborhood, and made sure to be seen filming miscreants playing midnight b-ball - and got myself a wolf-husky mix.

    The midnight b-ball is over and done with, and my outside sun deck remains theft free despite easily accessible yard work items.

    Be active in calling the police (neighborhood watch) make sure they know you are watching (film with cam) and get a dog that won't put up with nonsense.

    A Remington 870 works great if someone is dumb enough to mess with the pup, the "click clack" of it being wracked just somehow grabs you by the balls when it comes to the fear response...

  22. Garage Sales on Why Your e-Books Are No Longer Yours · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Garage sales sell lots of books for oft near a dime.

    I have at least a years backlog built up to read.

    If people turn their backs on the cash grab, then the folks trying to grab cash will painfully learn the lesson.

  23. Cool on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    I'm in!

  24. Good Idea on Former FBI Agent Calls for a Second Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let all of the various conglomerates move all of their online advertising, and shopping, and noise to a new internet.

    We all stand and applaud, then cut them off from ever returning to the old internet.

    Then we can go back to the days of sharing information and having fun without that stupid "punch the monkey" ilk...

  25. Re:Propaganda on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bingo. that's absolutely correct. It's maddening when I have to hit their site (for work) and I have to click to remove that stupid silverlight full page cover.

    I don't want it, I don't need it, and please, for the love of god, stop mooning me with it.
